Which version? Do you mean Skip Henderson's?

[Gutterpunk13]

Yes I belive that be the one

[Iron Jack]

Here they be:

Chords (guitar): (verse) Am, Em, B, G, D

(chorus) C, G, D, G, Em, Am, B

Verse:

Good morning to you Billy Bones, Billy Bones

Good Morning to you charming Billy,

When I last saw your hands, they were brown as my own,

Now up through white fingers the grasses have grown.

And what of this cutlass, so carelessly thrown,

On the ground, Billy Bones, billy Bones?

Chorus:

Bones, bones, bones, Billy Bones,

Send him off to Davy Jones!

Of rum and gold and wenches bold,

You've had your last fill Billy Bones!

Good morning to you, Billy Bones, Billy Bones

Good morning to you charming Billy,

That chest that you're laying on once sailed the salt sea,

That's why you, I, and Flint'yd agree,

To divvy the contents up in to three,

Gold and Jewels, Billy Bones, Billy Bones.

(Chorus)

Good morning to you, Billy Bones, Billy Bones

Good morning to you charming Billy,

You've done in many a Tar in your day,

And sent 'em off to sleep in the bay,

Well it looks like turn-about's, Fair Play!

At least for today, Billy Bones!

(Chorus)

Good morning to you, Billy Bones, Billy Bones

Good morning to you charming Billy,

Now old Flint is dead, and that leaves only me,

So I'll shovel your bony old arse in the sea,

And I'll drink to your health, which you'll never see!

Without eyes, without lips, skully bones.

(Chorus), . . . and out

[Gutterpunk13]

Why thank Ye Kindly

[Iron Jack]

'natch, matey.

(Support yer local punk band sez I!) :)

You know Skip Henderson!!

I put on a charity boat show every year and he has been the featured entertainment!

I booked him for October 2 & 3. That man knows more songs, and he welcomes others to join in!

Skip Henderson is great! He used to sing at the Sea Chantey gatherings on the Balclutha, but we haven't seen him there lately. And I've heard him and the band play at Quinn's lighthouse. Singing along is a requirement. :)

He's scheduled to perform at the Buccaneer's Ball on October 29th and 30th.
